    This one


    Brace yourself, I'll take you on a trip down memory lane
    This is not a rap on how I'm slinging crack or move cocaine
    This is cul-de-sac and plenty Cognac and major pain
    Not the drill sergeant, but the stress that weighing on your brain

    It was me, L Boogs and Yan Yan, YG Lucky ride down Rosecrans
    It got ugly, waving your hand out the window, check yourself, uh
    Warriors and Conans,hope euphoria can slow dance
    With society,
    the driver seat the first one to get killed
    Seen a light-skinned n----- with his brains blown out
    At the same burger stand where *beep* hang out
    Now this is not a tape recorder saying that he did it
    But ever since that day, I was looking at him different
    That was back when I was nine,
    Joey packed the nine
    Pakistan on every porch is fine,we adapt to crime
    Pack a van with four guns at a time, with the sliding door, f--- is up?

    f--- you shooting for if you ain't walking up, you f---ing punk?
    Picking up the f---ing pump, picking off you suckers
    s--- a d-ck or die or sucker punch,a wall of bullets coming from
    AK's, AR's,
    "Aye y'all, duck"
    That's what momma said when we was eating the free lunch

    Aw man, g.d., all h--- broke loose
    You killed my cousin back in '94, f--- your truce

    Now crawl your head in that noose, you wind up dead on the news
    Ain't no peace treaty, just pieces BG's up to pre-approve

    Bodies on top of bodies, IV's on top of IV's
    Obviously the coroner between the sheets like the Isleys
    When you hop on that trolley, make sure your colors correct
    Make sure you're corporate, or they'll be calling your mother collect
    They say the governor collect, all of our taxes except
    When we in traffic and tragic happens, that s--- ain't no threat

    You moving backwards if you suggest that you sleep with a Tec
    Go buy a chopper and have a doctor on speed dial, I guess,
    m.A.A.d city
